What is SoundCloud?

SoundCloud is an online platform to listen to music, podcasts and audio productions.

How does SoundCloud work?

SoundCloud is an online audio distribution platform that allows users to share and listen to music, podcasts and other audio productions. SoundCloud offers both free and paid memberships on the platform. Content is originally created, meaning made by the user who uploaded it and evenly split between music and other audio. Musicians use it to gather fans and promote their work. Music lovers can follow artists and listen to the content for free, or take a subscription to cut advertisements and be able to listen offline.

Is it safe for children and young people?

Users living in the European Union must be at least 16 years old and at least 13 years old in other parts of the world.

What is the minimum age?

+16
